Summary

To evaluate whether percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with contemporary drug-eluting stents (DES) combined with guideline-directed medical therapy (GDMT), compared to GDMT alone, reduces the time to first occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) during a median follow-up of at least 24 months, measured at the time the last enrolled patient reaches 12 months, in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and left-ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤40%. MACE is a composite of cardiovascular \[CV\] death, myocardial infarction (MI), heart failure (HF) related rehospitalization, heart transplantation, requirement for durable left ventricular assist device \[LVAD\] implantation, or worsening heart failure treated as an out-patient requiring treatment with intravenous medications.

Conditions

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Percutaneous coronary intervention

PCI will be performed according to standard techniques. Use of a contemporary, FDA/CE-approved drug-eluting stent is mandatory.

DRUG

Guideline-directed medical therapy

GDMT optimization follows a structured titration algorithm: Week 0: introducing angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACEi)/ angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) or angiotensin receptor-neprilysin inhibitors (ARNI) and beta-blockers. Week 1: adding mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) and sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i). Adjust every 2-4 weeks to reach target or tolerable dose unless symptomatic hypotension (systolic blood pressure \[SBP\] \< 90 mmHg) or estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) drop \> 30 % or serum potassium \>5.2 mmol/L.
